Herbs are complex living organisms, often composed of a multitude of interacting chemicals. In fact a single plant may have as many as 10,000 chemical constituents. If one or more of these chemicals have a beneficial effect on the body, the chances are good that there are other still undiscovered benefits that are still unknown to us. All too often, however, when an herb is identified as beneficial in a certain area, it becomes stereotyped, and its other beneficial benefits are left in obscurity. Blending them with other herbs magnifies the power of herbs.
This intensifies their effect causing the blend to give superior results to the use of single herbs.
